1993 Festiva L progression thread

[festivaWES]

he had a low pressure oil light on......it's still on. I told him to shy away from fram filters and switch the sensor and check the wiring since the pump didn't make the matter go away.

[FestYboy]

Fred, what was wrong with the original pump? i can't remember (too lazy to search as well).

[festivaWES]

It's a good thing I'm on the title as TOD. Someday it will be mine....LMFAO

Next time load my aspire swap secure in the truck bed...DAMN.

[Festiva_Fred]

Thanks Josh, still have a few things to do but it shouldn't be long before then..

I love the wood blocks to hold the engine. Good idea!!

[Festiva_Fred]

Progress is being made..

Today festivaWES stopped by, and we have been working on the car since about 2 in the afternoon. The oil pump and water pump have both been replaced We should be finishing things up tonight, then going JY'ing tomorrow..

Do these wheels bolt right on?

Those wheels that used to be on Damkid's car back when B6T owned it are from a Miata, and you need to have the aspire swap to use them.

i think my gutter mesh in the grille is held on by lock-ties



I always wandered what they were from! Cool!!

The LCAs are BAW, whoever that is, so I'm assuming the bushings are as well. Those are going on the car tomorrow, I have to replace bearings in the right front, so for tonight, Eeyore gets to sleep on jackstands. Took the opportunity, while it was off, to repaint my sway bar as well. Looks like crap, but better than before.

[Festiva_Fred]

^ yeah, what brand of swaybar bushings are those? I used MOOG on mine, my old lower control arm ball joints had a bit of play in them.. definitely needed replacing.

[batstiva]

Well, okay maybe my LCAs and bushings weren't quite as bad as they seemed at the time, but they ain't pretty.

Old and Busted....





New Hotness!!





The best of the old bushings next to a new one.



Wonder why my steering was so sloppy??

[sasquatch]

^ sweet ill give it a try...
